When out in public, Jeff Kingery might hear someone say, “Hey, I remember that voice.” He’s still remembered from his 30 years of broadcasting Denver Bears, Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rockies games.
But he now might also hear someone in the crowd say, “I saw your movie.” After retiring from broadcasting seven years ago, Kingery started chasing another dream. He liked to write and he wanted to make a movie. The finished product is out under the title of “Table 47.”
Kingery directed the film and was joined in the project by partner Mike Brody.
“Itap a murder mystery,” Kingery said. “The good guy falls for the wrong woman. Then, is the good guy going to be strong enough to turn the tables on the bad guy? It doesn’t have a lot of special effects that drive up costs. I told Mike that he could write the script, but I wanted to direct it.”
The movie can be ordered on the internet by going to table47.com.
Kingery remembers fondly his time broadcasting Rockies and Nuggets games.
“I look at the 11 years I covered the NBA as the golden time of the league,” Kingery said. “We had Alex English and Dan Issel in Denver, and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in the league.”
But when Major League Baseball came to Denver in 1993, Kingery called it a “no brainer” to switch sports. He was in the broadcast booth for the Rockies for 17 years.
His Rockies memories include the expansion season of 1993, the team’s first run to the playoffs in 1995 and the drama packed 2007 season when the Rockies advanced to their first and only World Series.
Kingery is far from being a sports nut, but he does admit to being a fanatic fan of hockey, a sport he never called.
“That would be a challenge,” Kingery said. “Itap such a fast moving game.”
